Why nostril asymmetry and an upturned tip remain after alar reduction and how to correct them

A revision rhinoplasty case where nostril asymmetry, an upturned nasal tip, and an implant step-off visible after alar reduction were corrected through structural reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time

Following prior surgery for rhinitis and a deviated septum, the patient experienced a recurrence of symptoms along with nasal deviation and nostril asymmetry, which were improved through autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lateral osteotomy, and mucosal synechia adhesiolysis.

Why bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella appear together and how to build tip definition

To correct a severe bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella, we performed anterior repositioning of the septal cartilage, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, partial removal of soft tissue, and repositioning of the lower lateral cartilages.
